Memory problem in Windows 98

[windows98]

Program written in VB6 runs out of available memory in Windows 98 (it is OK in Windows XP). Unloading some forms (which are not required for this segment) does not release available memory, neither does the increase in the size of the Swap File (checking with System Monitor), which remains inactive. A simple display of the form results in Error 7 (out of memory). Any suggestions how to enforce memory release?

Make sure the PC has the latest VB6 runtime libraries installed? Install the latest Windows updates, drivers, etc.?

Thanks for your advice. I installed the runtime libraries as well as Sevice Pack 5.It looks to me that this is the problem caused by lack of resources allocated by Windows 98. Unfortunately I can get it going in Windows 98 only by scaling down some operations. Windows XP handle the program without any hitch. Regards,
